# About migrating to an availability zone-enabled ExpressRoute virtual network gateway
15
-
When creating an ExpressRoute virtual network gateway, selecting the appropriate [gateway SKU](expressroute-about-virtual-network-gateways.md#gateway-types) is crucial. Higher-level SKUs allocate more CPUs and network bandwidth to the gateway, enabling higher network throughput and more reliable connections to the virtual network.

The SKUs **ErGw1Az**, **ErGw2Az**, **ErGw3Az**, and **ErGwScale** (Preview) are referred to as Availability Zone (Az)-Enabled SKUs. These SKUs support deployment across multiple availability zones, providing enhanced resiliency and high availability by distributing the gateway infrastructure across zones.

In contrast, the **Standard**, **HighPerformance**, and **UltraPerformance** SKUs, also known as non-Az-enabled SKUs, are typically associated with Basic IPs and do not support distribution across availability zones.

The guided gateway migration experience simplifies this process by allowing you to deploy a second virtual network gateway within the same GatewaySubnet. Azure automatically transfers the control plane and data path configurations from the old gateway to the new one. During the migration, both gateways operate simultaneously within the same GatewaySubnet. While this feature minimizes disruption, brief connectivity interruptions may still occur.

Once the migration is complete and the old gateway along with its connections are deleted, the newly created gateway will be tagged with `"CreatedBy : GatewaySKUMigration"`. This tag helps distinguish migrated gateways from others that haven't undergone migration and should not be deleted.

2.**Prepare**: Create a new virtual network gateway, public IP, and connections. This step can take up to 45 minutes. You can specify a preferred name for the new gateway and connections. If no name is provided, the system appends the tag **_migrate** by default. During this step, the existing virtual network gateway is locked, preventing any creation or modification of connections.
